[@Oneloudest]

It doesn't scan though. For that, an RF explorer is the way to go. Super portable, and you can connect it to a laptop to export the scan to a CSV file. You can then import that into Shure's Wireless Workbench software, which is free, and will do your frequency coordination for you. Works amazingly well using real time data from your location, not just a database of TV towers.

Colin, your first mistake was telling Linus you have tools. Your second mistake was inviting Linus in where you keep and store those tools.

[@zepphyrr6961]

That is one sweet shop. Awesome!! As someone who is a welder I was kinda sad to see the Miller, wish it was a Lincoln. I'm a Lincoln fanboy. lol. (if your wondering, Lincoln vs Miller is like the same as Ford vs Chevy. it doesn't matter and its just personal preference)

[@LinusTechTips]

Sorry team blue here, It's an Intel video after all. (JK I have a Lincoln MIG and it's.. fine.) -CW

[@sycoticone]

Team Yellow! ESAB I was a Lincoln guy for arc and a Miller guy for mig/ tig until an ESAB found its way into the shop. It then spawned into multiple yellow machines.

Double router means double NAT issues too *facepalm*

Finally another one! I know there's a lot that goes into it I just still wish we could get more

[@199Bubi]

Damn Colin living the life! Having an awesome workshop AND (probably) a home! I got neither and I can safely say I won't be having either anytime soon!

[@jemiebridges3197]

I got a storage unit that I keep a workshop in. Still wont have a home til Boomers start dying off. Unfortunately I'm early gen x and probably have the same expiration date.

Lol, dance party in Colin’s shop!!! Nice, bro!

Just as I was craving some LTT goodness this pops up. Thank the tech gods

I’m all for lossless audio, but maybe treat your listening space and configuring speaker position makes more of a difference in actual experience?

[@jemiebridges3197]

Sure in a home environment. But you're moving around a shop or listening over power tools. Flack makes way more of a difference if you haven't got $10,000 speakers. I've had those in the past. Doubt I'll ever do that again unless I just inherit some or get them in an auction. So superior format quality makes up for that. Db PowerAmp let's me RIP all the formats at once. But in think this time around I'm gonna RIP in command line from Ubuntu Studio unless there is better linux audio setup.

[@puresesh7985]

@@jemiebridges3197 you are not going to hear the difference from MP3 320 and flac files while moving around shop not even listening on axis of the speakers.

[@puresesh7985]

It does it's useless having great gear and lossless if you are not even listening on axis or have room correction

[@ArvidOlson]

@@puresesh7985 This is mostly my experience as well, but I don’t have a lot of “shop” experience :)

@@ArvidOlson if you are in a shop or listening off axis out of the sweet spot file quality is the least of your concern

Anyone know where the video of the sub-box build he references at 13:03 is?

[@Xynferno]

How did he manage to get a $3600 welder and a 3080

[@eric8146]

And a $500 Audio….thing

[@nerdfail]

spoiler alert: it ain't $5K.

[@ItsHatlolOfficial]

welder: $2825 USD, 3080 MSRP is 699 USD, sounds believable (I’m pretty sure it’s just MSRP price since it is sponsored by intel)

[@Xynferno]

5k usd, when converted Canadian $, it's about 6.3k
